'It's terrifying how good you are': The Voice judges come to blows as they battle for 17-year-old contestant Savannah Berry

The biggest fight of the night came as three of the judges tried to land teenage country sensation Savannah Berry.

She told how she had teamed up with country band Sugarland after they found her on YouTube covering one of their songs.

Already a firm favourite: Savannah Berry impressed the judges on Tuesday night's episode of The Voice

She began singing at the age of four then later began posting performance videos online.

That inspired her to follow her dream and try to make it in the music business, she said, by turning her back on school and her friends.

The 17-year-old, from Houston, Texas, said: 'It's kind of tough sometimes.' She sang Taylor Swift's Safe and Sound for the judges.

And it only took a couple of seconds for a stunned-looking Adam Levine to turn to look at her, before Shakira also punched her button, before Blake Shelton did the same. Usher was the only one not to turn around.

Savannah was overcome with emotion. 'Oh my God,' she said.

Battle: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Shakira all wanted Savannah on their team

Overwhelmed: The 17-year-old was emotional as she picked Blake to be her mentor

'I'd be the only idiot who didn't press my button,' said Usher.

'I am fascinated by your voice,' said Blake.

And Adam looked devastated when Savannah revealed that one of her major influences was Miranda Lambert - Blake's wife.

Blake jokingly showed off his wedding ring - as Adam realised it was very unlikely she would agree to join his team. 'I'm actually married to Miranda Lambert,' Blake joked.

Adam had scored a coup by 'stealing' a country singer from Blake on Monday night's show. So Blake was determined not to let Savannah slip through his fingers.

As Shakira tried to get Savannah on her
team she said: 'These guys, three seasons already, they're jaded -
they're almost deaf. You want to be with someone who is fresh and
hungry. She can win this competition.'

Convincing: Blake reminded the country girl that he is married to Miranda Lambert, and said he wanted to adopt her

'I know you're new at this,' Adam told Shakira, 'but it's terrifying how good you are.'

'Go with the person who believed first,' said Adam - who buzzed in first.

Blake then coughed: 'Bullc***!' as Shakira continued to try to woo Savannah before playing up his Sugarland connections - and joked about how he could adopt her. 'You're a very adoptable age,' he said.

'This is seriously the hardest part,' Savannah said. 'I think I'm going to have to pick Blake. This is the moment I've been dreaming about.'

'It's so easy,' Blake taunted Adam
afterwards, before whipping out a country music award from under his
desk. 'Didn't even have to use this. I don't even know where that came
from.'

While she's used to turning heads
with her model good looks, it was her vocal talents that helped Audrey
Karrasch get picked in the blind auditions.

The 20-year-old, from Reno, Nevada blonde headed to the tryouts with her mother.

And it only took moments of her singing Jessie J's Price Tag to win the attention of judge Blake.

He was the first to swivel his chair after only a few seconds - and looked delighted that he had.

In the blind audition round the
judges - Blake, Shakira, Usher and Maroon 5 frontman Adam - cannot see
the hopefuls, only hear them. They can buzz in to turn around to see them in a bid to get them on their team of 12.

Usher was the next to push his button to get to see her.

Blake said: 'I knew that you were great from the beginning because of your attack on the song. I'm really excited about you.'

Model behaviour: Also sailing through to the next round was model Audrey Karrasch

Relying on her talent: The 20-year-old was glad that her looks wouldn't be factored into the decision process

Shakira joked: 'These guys are drooling over you. I think you'll do great.'

Usher added: 'It really does take confidence to move this crowd. I'm just going to go ahead and call it. You're my girl.'

'OK Usher, let's do it. I pick Usher,' she said as she decided to join the R&B star's team.

'That is rough,' said Blake, who felt slighted because he had turned to look at her first.

'I kind of had it at hello,' joked Usher as Adam Levine gave Blake a hard time.

Audrey said she became a Ford Models model when she was 17 and moved to New York.

Not for me: Adam decided against turning around for Audrey, but Usher and Blake both vied for the hopeful

'Modelling is a really superficial
world,' she said as she told how she battled depression after becoming
disillusioned. She then moved to North Carolina in a bid to make it as a
singer, she said on the NBC show.

And she said she was happy she wouldn't be judged on her looks - but on her abilities instead.'I'm glad it doesn't come into play,' she told host Carson Daly.

'I am so excited I could pee,' said her mother - much to Audrey's embarrassment.

Long-haired teenager Brandon Roush
from Louisville, Kentucky, is the lead singer and harmonica player in
band The Dirty Grindstones.

The big-hearted 19-year-old told how he also works with kids with autism and tries to teach them music.

'Our goal is to teach them that they're not outcasts,' he said. 'They look at me as if I'm a rock star. It's super rewarding.'

New additions: Shakira and Usher are settling in well to their roles as coaches

Bad luck: Betsy Barta was left in tears after she failed to make it through

He hoped his distinctive voice would spark the judges' curiosity and get them to turn around.

Brandon took to the stage and sang The Beatles' With a Little Help from My Friends.

'Yeah,' said Blake Shelton as he heard the opening bars.

Shakira was the first to buzz in after a couple of minutes - to the delight of Brandon's family backstage.

'Oh my God, that is not what you are
supposed to look like,' said Blake after the song finished and he got to
see Brandon. 'I didn't expect a white dude with long hair.'

'You want me? I love you. There's no place I'd rather be,' he told her.

'I love his story. I love that he works with autistic kids,' Shakira added.

'I am so very excited,' said Brandon afterwards.

But there was heartbreak for Betsy Barta, 22, from Minneapolis, Minnesota - who literally went from the streets to the stage.

The flame-haired busker said she started singing as a kid but was too shy to do it on stage. And her guitar-playing busking partner was on hand to offer her support.

Surprise: The coaches didn't expect the contestant to look the way he does

'[The street] is where I learned to overcome a lot of my fears,' she said. 'But this is the most important performance I've ever had. There's no room for nerves.'

She sang Adele's Set Fire To The Rain - as Adam remarked: 'She's good.'

But it wasn't good enough as none of the judges turned to look at her.

'You bit off a lot to chew there with Adele,' said Blake.

'You're a great singer and you did a great job,' said Adam as Betsy fought back tears.

'You have to be able to take the good
and bad in this business,' said Usher. 'You may be a bit intimated but
you've got to still do it.'

'I've got to hug you,' said Adam as he jumped out of his seat and went to embrace her. 'You're a good singer.'

'It's just a bummer,' said Betsy.

Also on the show was 35-year-old Patrick Dodd, from Memphis, Tennessee.

The dreadlocked family man told how
he had a band when he was younger - but after he had children with his
wife, whom he has known since school, he had to give up that lifestyle.

'Music just wasn't going to pay the bills,' he said.

'He's so talented,' said one of his
daughters as he explained how he had got back into music in 2008,
performing 300 days a year on Memphis' famous Beale Street - even
winning its performer of the year award in 2011.

'This is the biggest opportunity of my career,' he said before he walked out and sang - appropriately enough - Marc Cohn's Walking in Memphis. 'I don't want to go back with my tail tucked.'

Shakira was the first to take a chance and turn around, soon followed by Adam, as Patrick's daughters jumped up and down with excitement backstage.

'You really shocked me, such character in your voice,' said Usher.

'You have so much soul,' said Shakira. 'You're a professional to me.'

As she urged him to join her team
instead of Adam's she said: ''Never underestimate a 5ft 3in Colombian
girl. When I set my mind on something I am going to achieve it.'

'Never underestimate a 6ft tall white boy from LA,' joked Adam.

Family first: Patrick had put his dreams on hold in order to provide for his family

Proud: Patrick's loved ones gushed about what a great singer he is, and he proved them right

Patrick ended up picking Adam as his coach. 'I'm just going to go with my gut and pick Adam,' he explained, before the pair embraced.

'I thought Shakira was going to snag him,' Adam said.

Then it was the turn of Berklee College of Music graduate Orlando Dixon, 24, from Washington, DC.

He told how he was raised by his mother after his father abandoned them. 'It was difficult,' he said.

Orlando said he was trying to make ends meet by working as a wedding singer - but was desperate to break into the big time.

'I just want to make my mother and sister proud,' he said as he began to cry. 'I feel I was put on this earth to sing.'

He sang Ne-Yo's So Sick as Shakira hovered over her button.

'Push that button,' urged Orlando's mother backstage as time started to run out on the song.

But it was Usher who came to the rescue - causing Orlando's mother and sister to go scream and jump up and down.

'I grew up listening to you, I admire
your work. I just want to learn so much from you,' a beaming Orlando
told Usher. 'I want to be able to buy my mum a house. This is my idol
right here. This is such a huge deal. '

'We can leave the hood,' his mother joked to his sister backstage.

'I'm happy I hit the buzzer at the
last minute,' said Usher. 'I'm going to push you more though.' Usher
added: 'He's a diamond in the rough.'

Warm welcome: Usher was the only judge to turn around for Orlando, who was delighted to have been picked by the singer

The competition is heating up: The blind auditions will continue on The Voice on Monday and Tuesday

Blake also scored Trevor Davis for his team, who sang Keep Your Head Up.

And R&B artist C. Perkins, who sang Because of You, found his way on to Shakira's team.
